Dog Walking, Daycare, Training & Taxi

At ALM Pet Services, we know that dogs thrive on exercise, stimulation, and routine. Our dog walking, daycare, training, and pet taxi services are designed to support your dog’s physical and mental well-being, ensuring they remain happy, healthy, and engaged.

 

From energetic puppies to older dogs with special needs, our professional dog walkers provide safe and enjoyable walks, while our doggy daycare services offer structured play and companionship during the day. We also offer dog training programmes tailored to behaviour, obedience, and confidence-building, alongside a pet taxi service for safe and reliable transport.

 

Our fully insured, DBS-checked team treats every dog as an individual, giving owners peace of mind while providing top-quality care.

Doggy Daycare (Host Homes Only)

Our Doggy Daycare service is provided exclusively within our Bolton Council licensed Host Homes, offering a calm, safe, and home-based alternative to traditional daycare centres. This service is ideal for dogs who find busy facilities overwhelming and benefit from a quieter, more structured environment.

 

Daycare takes place in a genuine home setting, with dogs cared for as part of the household rather than in large groups. We maintain small group sizes, with no more than five dogs per carer, allowing for close supervision, individual attention, and a strong focus on welfare. Dogs enjoy one-to-one or small-group walks, enrichment activities, rest periods, and plenty of reassurance throughout the day.

 

Our Host Homes are carefully selected, inspected, and approved in line with Bolton Council licensing conditions, animal welfare legislation, and DEFRA Codes of Practice. Each dog’s placement is based on temperament, routine, and individual needs, ensuring a positive and stress-free daycare experience.

 

This option is particularly well suited to dogs who:

  • Prefer a quieter environment
  • Struggle in busy daycare centres
  • Require routine, structure, or additional supervision
  • Benefit from personalised care and calmer social interaction
  • A free Meet and Greet and suitability assessment is carried out prior to booking to ensure daycare is the right fit for your dog.

 

Services & Pricing:

 

🏡 Doggy Daycare (Host Home Based):

  • Full Day £28
  • Half Day £20
  • Full Day Weekend £35

 

Please note: Availability is limited and all daycare placements are subject to suitability assessments and Bolton Council licensing requirements.

We prioritise your dog’s welfare at all times, taking into account temperament, energy levels, training requirements, and any medical or behavioural considerations. Walks are carried out by experienced, insured handlers, with a strong focus on safety, positive handling, and enrichment.

Dog Training Services

Our dog training service offers clear, practical, and compassionate support tailored to both you and your dog. We focus on building strong foundations, improving communication, and addressing behavioural challenges using ethical, welfare-led training methods.

 

Training is fully personalised and takes into account your dog’s age, breed, background, routine, and emotional wellbeing. Whether you are working on basic obedience, lead manners, recall, confidence building, or more complex behavioural concerns, our goal is to achieve realistic, long-lasting results that fit naturally into everyday life.

 

All training begins with a comprehensive one-to-one assessment. This allows us to understand your dog’s needs, identify any contributing factors, and create a structured training plan that is appropriate and achievable. Where required, we work alongside veterinarians, behaviourists, and other professionals to ensure your dog’s welfare remains the top priority.

 

Services & Pricing:

 

🎓 Dog Training:

  • Initial Assessment: £40 (1 hr)
  • Training Packages: Custom pricing based on your dog’s individual needs and training goals.

 

🎓 Training Packages (Examples):

Packages are tailored following the initial assessment; examples below are for guidance only.
